Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions work
Carla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on understanding thoughts and behaviors. One common approach looks at how thinking patterns influence mood and actions, teaching people to notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative responses. This helps with anxiety, depression, and persistent self-criticism.She also uses practical skills-based work to improve communication and coping. That involves role practice, clear feedback, and step-by-step exercises people can try between sessions to address workplace issues, relationship problems, or loneliness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Carla will review your concerns, try methods that fit your goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The focus is on picking techniques that align with your needs and preferences rather than a fixed set of tools.
